FRIDAY, Feb. 29, 11 p.m. — Binghamton University could have shelled out $15,000 to $20,000 to re-key the doors in the New University Union after a set of Union keys was reported missing to police, said Investigator Dennis P. Bush of Binghamton’s New York State University Police.
A female student employee had left the set of 10 to 15 keys under the information desk. A male employee, without telling her, picked up the keys to unlock a door, but he gave them to a student to return to the desk. The student didn’t return the keys until the next day, prompting the female employee to file a police report.
Because the keys, which could unlock interior and exterior doors, were returned, police made no arrests.
SATURDAY, March 1, 6 p.m. — Three roommates got into a physical fight in College-in-the-Woods’ Oneida Hall after one of the students was harassing his girlfriend, Bush said.
The 18-year-old boyfriend, who appeared intoxicated, had become upset at his girlfriend, took her into the suite’s common room and yelled at her.
Two of his roommates heard the 19-year-old girlfriend crying. They tried to intervene, spurring a fight with the boyfriend. The boyfriend was referred to Judicial Affairs.
MONDAY, March 3, 4 p.m. — An 18-year-old female student reported to police that someone wrote “cunt” across her dry erase board on her door in Mountainview College’s Hunter Hall, Bush said.
“That’s a bad word,” Bush said. “That’s a word that’s still guaranteed to shock most people.”
The student chose not to pursue any charges, but made the report in case any more harassment occurs in the future. Police have no suspects.
THURSDAY, March 6, 6 a.m. — A male cleaning staff member showed officers $150 worth of damage to a men’s bathroom near Lecture Hall 1, Bush said. Someone had ripped a sink and a partition from their mounting. Police have no suspects.
THURSDAY, March 6, 1 p.m. — An 18-year-old female student reported to police that someone had rummaged through her room in Newing College’s Endicott Hall, but didn’t steal anything, Bush said. She left her room locked for two hours. When she returned, she found the door open. She observed that clothing was taken out her drawers, her laptop was moved from her desk to her bed, and her desk drawers were left open.
Both she and her roommate said the door was locked, but officers found no sign of forced entry. Police have no suspects.
